I can give two sh!ts about who owns the name "Yenko" and its making my head hurt, but one of these 2010 camaros named after a dead guy is like going to see Elvis in concert next week???? Yenko was awesome and a true car guy but using his name to sell cars is crazy and disrespectful. Just my two cents, carry on???

I think it is a great idea to build these new camaros up. I just don't know why we have to use the Yenko, Nickey, Baldwin etc. platform anymore. I think the people involved doing them should come up with their own version of a name. If it is not called a Yenko or whatever will it be less of a car? Call it The Stefano or The SCW camaro. Do you think you need the old names to market these new hot rods.....I don't. Is Berger Chevy going to call there new camaro a Yenko? How about Tom Henry?

That's what I was thinking as well Sam.

Which is exactly what Dale Earnahrdt's Intimidator SS's were-a tribute to his good freind. Commissioned and partnered with GM,trademarked by him, and sold through his chevrolet dealership.

It's all good

Tom,

I myself am a Yenko owner and cannot wait to see your 2010 Yenko Camaro leave some tire marks on the track. I can't imagine anyone not going crazy (in a good way) when you pull up to a car show with your two Yenkos. What a treat that will be to any spectator. I challenge anyone that would think a crowd of spectators would get insulted and feel cheated out from that experience. Isn't this what it is all about? Taking your car out, no matter what it is, and enjoying your time with your family and friends. I am missing something here. Just my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

I for one would not go crazy over a 69 Yenko, let alone a so called new Yenko. Many people would see the new car as a badge and sticker fake, with no history or pedigree. A car built on anothers fame.

This is like pee-ing in the pacific to see the water level rise compared to the Storm brewing after old Carol Shelby's (NOS) ticker stops pumping blood!

Build it all 10 of them,,,,

That would be fine if you did a tribute to Don and the Yenko Family and all the profit earned should go to charity instead of the pockets of people trying to sell cars with his name. Im done, carry on!!! Mark
